>> Does Donald Trump strive to be a president to get more women?
No, he gets the women because of his drive and social status. What the author fails to go into is that females have also evolved to seek men of high social status to father their children. The female genes are more likely to propagate if they mate with such a male, as their children will have similar traits. The other interesting omission is that women seek more masculine men when they are ovulating and less so when they are not - this has been repeatedly shown in studies. So women seek the alpha male for reproduction and the beta male providers the rest of the time.
